Differs
from other sponges in that it does not contain spicules, (calcareous or
siliceous skeletal forms), only spongin, a collagen protein.
Provings
Samuel
Hahnemann conducted the original proving, resulting in 156 symptoms from
provers under his own supervision and 235 symptoms extracted from papers by 10
other authors;
Hahnemann
considered his own account incomplete. Materia Medica Pura: Reine Arzneimittellehre, Volume VI. Hahnemann was said to be primarily
interested to see the medicine's effects on goitre.
B. Finke
MD: "A New Proving of Spongia Tosta", American Homeopathic Review,
1859, p. 317. Finke performed a clinical experiment on a patient who was
displaying general indications for the remedy. This confirmed the remedy's
affinities with the throat and larynx. The patient also had a history of a
tumour in the left breast.
Pliny: (1st
century AD) observed that the sponges, like anemones and coral, were
"neither beasts nor plants, but a third nature between or compounded of
both," and "have yet a kind of sense with them".
He observed
the sponge to flinch and contract when his hand drew near to pull it from a
rock - a surprising act for an animal with no obvious nervous system. No
intracellular gaps or junctions have yet
been found
in sponges; these are present first in the Cnidaria (hydra/jellyfish/anemones) and onwards in
evolution, and allow electrical currents to be passed between cells.
Sponges
thought to react to touch and pass messages via chemical signalling, and may be
able to pass calcium signals between cells via normal ion channels.
In 2005,
researchers April and Malcolm Hill, at the University of Richmond, Virginia,
USA, discovered that sponges carry sophisticated genes which would normally
control the growth of eyes, the brain, central nervous system and sensory
systems in other animals, including humans. They have the black box of sensory
genes, but do not unpack it, remaining as simple bodies.
Clearing
the Airways: Do Sponges Cough?
Spongia is
perhaps best known as a cough remedy. Do sponges actually cough? It would
appear so:
"Sponges
exhibit contractile behaviors (reviewed by Leys and Meech 2006; Elliot and Leys
2003). In the small, freshwater sponge Ephydatia, an inhalant expansion phase
precedes a coordinated contraction that forces water out of the osculum. This
contractile activity generates high-velocity flow in the finer channel systems
that then propagate toward the osculum. Effectively, this seems to be a
''coughing'' mechanism that eliminates unwanted material, chemicals, or
organisms from the vasculature“.
Just like
the Spongia patient, the sponge in nature 'coughs' to relieve the sympoms of
blockage and suffocation. Sponges are hosts, acting like hotels to all sorts of
creatures, such as crabs and worms. They have also formed symbiotic
relationships with bacteria and algae. The proving of Spongia tosta has a
strong sensation of a foreign body internally: a stone, something plugged, or
especially something alive: itching and crawling or giving the feeling of 'fine
digging,' internally.
